I think that may be intentional, so when you are reading a long thread, you can remind yourself od the first thread very easily, or if you have come back to a thread, the first post is visible whilst you are reading the latest additions!

I have Far to much time on my hands!!!

It's a bug, but if I made it more obvious that it was the first post would it be useful or confusing?

No keep it. Just make it more obvious.

I was confused at first but now use it.

It's confusing -- it's easy to figure out which debate and page you're on from the other cues you already have in place. This not only isn't needed, it uses unnecessary screen space

Ted,

This may or may not be related to the earlier problem - but I'm now losing the first post so I can't tell what people are responding to!

Just a (further) thought, problem only appears on posts that are longer than one page. Does this help?
